FUNERAL JOKES.

Spicy Bits of Humor Unconsciously Fur
nished by 0eficisting ClergymeD.
It was out West that country min
lister, officiating at funeral, said at
the close of his discourse:
'' The friends may now come for
ward and avail themselves of the de-
ceased corpse
And a solemn-visaged procession
filed drearily by the coffin, availing"
themselves of the " deceased corpse.
The same preacher said at the
funeral of an aged man:
"Our dear deceased brother is
dead. He has expired. After eighty
nine years life is extinct. He breathes
not, sees not, hears not, feels not,
smells not. He has passed away. His
clay tenement remains; but it is empty.
The former occupant has moved, as
one might say. He needs not now
his earthly abode. He is dead to this
vain earth; yes, he is dead. ("
Having convinced his audience that
the corpse was really Gead the preach
er goes on to say:
1.-The coffin will now be opened that
those who loved him here may have
the pleasure of gazing on him for the
last time"
A shocking accident in Western
coal-mining town caused the death Of
five poor fellows, who were buried a.
the same hour from the village church.
During the delivery of the sermon, the
rudely-constructed platform on which
the five coffins were placed suddenly
fell to the floor, piling the coffins ore
on top of the other. Great consterna-
ton ensued, and in the midst of the
excitement the preacher cried out:
Be calm, dear friends, be calm;
the corpses are not hurt in the least"
One of those soulless creatures, boy
of ten years, was hanging on the gate
of house in Western village, when
boon companion came along and said
tauntingly:
''Hi, there, Jimmy; don't you wish
you was me? Mas give me a quarter
an I'm goin' to see the Jonesville nine
lay out the Plumtown boys"
With infrite contempt Jimmy re-
torts:
"Poch! I've somethin' gayer'n that
on hand. Gran'dad's gone to glory
an / m goin' to be one o. the mourn
ers an ride in the first carriage.
Where's your old baseball game

A newly-married young man died
suddenly, and the minister who had
officiated at the wedding was called
upon to conduct the funeral services.
At the close of his discourse he made
use of this rather ambiguous express
sion:
